It is not quite a poem though it would be had it a master worthy of
its impulse. It is but at the hand of an apprentice a bit of prose yet
with a lilt which would transcend its mundane form and become a goodly
song, born of a memory of Grandma Peters’ declaration that the fall was
“the thin time” when a body like Enoch might just walk from this world
into the next.

An illegal immigrant alien from Mexico is attending Georgetown
University in Washington, D.C. for only $11.50 this semester, as he’s
receiving financial aid to cover the more than $30,000 tuition.

Mizraim
Belman Guerrero, who immigrated from Mexico to Austin, Texas with his
family at age four, is attending Georgetown University as an
undocumented immigrant illegal alien as reported by Circa.com.

“He
qualifies for financial aid like any other student at Georgetown, and
this semester he’s paying just $11.50 of the close to $33,000 tuition
bill,” reports Circa’s Fernando Hurtado. “Financial aid isn’t the only
resource Georgetown offers undocumented illegal alien students. Earlier this year, it
launched an undocumented illegal alien students resource page for prospective students
looking to get into the university.”

If there was a time Hillary needed to make a public appearance in the
key battleground state of North Carolina to drum up voter support, it
was today, if for no other reason than a just released Elon University
poll finding Trump now has a modest 44% advantage among likely voters in the Tar Heel State, with 43% going to Clinton.

Changing who controls the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and
Numbers (ICANN) so close to our presidential election will jeopardize
the results of how you vote on Nov. 8 unless Congress stops this
changeover. When the calendar hits Sept. 30, a mere 6 weeks before our
election, the United States cannot be assured that if any web site is
hacked, the responsible party will be held accountable. We cannot be
sure if a web site is a valid. We cannot be sure if one country is being
favored over another. These are all the things ICANN is responsible for
and has worked perfectly since the Internet was created. Why change it
now and so close to the election? Why does that matter to you as a
voter?

“What is wrong with your editorial Board,” one commenter wrote. “To
endorse a proven Liar, a person who schemes and manipulates the truth, a
person who broke the law and violated national security, and a person
who flaunts doing the wrong thing and then blaming others. You have no
credibility.”

The Dallas Morning News is paying a steep price for endorsing
Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, in the form of canceled
subscriptions and loud protests.

The endorsement broke a 75-year streak in the paper’s history of
endorsing Republicans, and generated a lot of reader pushback in the
form of angry comments and vows to unsubscribe from the paper. Although
Dallas is relatively liberal, the state hasn’t gone Democrat in a
presidential election in 40 years.

Certainly we’ve paid a price for our presidential recommendation,” Dallas Morning News editor Mike Wilson said in an email to Poynter.
Wilson acknowledged some of that price came in dropped subscriptions,
although he declined to reveal to Poynter exactly how many.

In the wake of a radical Islamic terrorist attack on New York City,
Mayor Bill de Blasio is telling citizens not to worry about the threat
of jihadist violence and pushing for even more questionably vetted
migrants to be resettled in the United States.

De Blasio and the mayors of London and Paris co-wrote an op-ed in
which they said terrorism committed by refugees is “vanishingly rare.”

“Militant violence is vanishingly rare,” the trio wrote in The New
York Times on the heels of three separate attacks in the United States.

The comments are not likely to go over well in a city on edge after the explosion.

"Professor DeRosa goes boldly into territory where no one has
ventured before and few have even known existed. Like an intrepid
explorer of lands forgotten by time, he comes back with fresh
knowledge--knowledge that Americans can use to save liberty and rules
the law under Constitutional government."

--Clyde Wilson,
distinguished Professor Emeritus of History, University of South
Carolina

From the Inside Flap

The quintessential question regarding government's role in
America has always been: will decisions be made in the communities where
people live or in Washington, D.C.?

These warring ideas of
centralization and decentralization form the core of modern political
debates about the national economy, U.S. foreign policy, and citizens'
cultural values--just as they did with our Founding Fathers.

Here,
distinguished scholar Marshall L. DeRosa, an expert on the Confederate
Constitution, describes why and how the truly democratic principles of
the Confederate States of America are relevant and applicable today.

DeRosa's
examination of the rise and fall of the Confederacy; his suggestion for
current-day secession, now championed by libertarians as a solution for
states to regain their individual power; and his emphatic call for
Americans to become self-governing in order to restore our original
democracy offer a radical yet realistic opportunity for citizens to
participate in our nation's much-needed redemption.

Marshall L.
DeRosa is a professor of political science at Florida Atlantic
University. His expertise includes American constitutional law and
policymaking, international law, and the judicial process.

Here’s an interesting tidbit regarding Southern Poverty Law Center Co-Founder and sole owner, Morris Dees.
According to Dees’ own words, the man has openly confessed, twice no
less, to having committed a violent felony under Alabama law in 1983 and
is still at large.

The link to this confession came to us through none other than Dees’
long-time Public Relations Guru, Mark Potok. In 2008, Potok was giving a
group of Vermont high school teachers and students a personal tour of
SPLC headquarters in Montgomery. During the hour-long interview, the
audio file for which can be found here on the Internet Archive, Mark
Potok relates the details of an event where a Klansman named Jeff Berry
gives an interview to a television news crew, then, thinking better of
it, demands the tape of the interview from the crew at shotgun-point.
Potok says the police did nothing in response to the reporter’s
complaint and so the SPLC stepped in.

“About a year later… well, we sued very quickly…
well, it was shortly after that, and we easily won a judgment against
Berry. You know, this was absolutely false imprisonment, right? I mean,
it was a felony crime.”

Absolutely false imprisonment… A felony crime…

This passage got us to thinking about another anecdote we remembered
about someone else holding someone at shotgun point. On page 101 of his
1991 autobiography, A Season For Justice, Morris Dees brags about holding a shotgun to the head of his good pal, and best paying Klan client, Claude Henley.

Former President Bill Clinton and his Clinton Health Access
Initiative (CHAI) distributed “watered-down” HIV/AIDs drugs to patients
in sub-Saharan Africa, and “likely increased” the risks of morbidity and
mortality, according to a draft congressional report obtained by The
Daily Caller News Foundation.

The congressional report, titled,“The Clinton Foundation and The
India Success Story,” was initiated by Rep. Marsha Blackburn, a
Tennessee Republican and vice-chair of the House Energy and Commerce
Committee.

The CHAI program to help AIDS victims is considered one of the
Clinton Foundation’s most important contributions and is probably its
best known initiative.

Alerting the press that he would deal with the birther issue at the
opening of his new hotel, the Donald, after treating them to an hour of
tributes to himself from Medal of Honor recipients, delivered.

“Hillary Clinton and her campaign of 2008 started the birther
controversy. I finished it. … President Barack Obama was born in the
United States. Period.”

Voters strongly oppose President Obama’s plan to bring 110,000 Middle
Eastern and African refugees to this country next year, up from 85,000
this year, and view that decision as an increased danger to U.S.
national security.

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds
that nearly half (48%) of Likely U.S. Voters believe the United Should
should take in no additional refugees from those areas.

Just 12% agree
with Obama’s 110,000 figure, but another six percent (6%) think even
more refugees than that should be brought here.

Fourteen percent (14%) think 25,000 would be all right, while six
percent (6%) favor letting in 50,000 of these refugees. Six percent (6%)
support 85,000 newcomers from the Middle East and Africa. (To see

Remembrance

To die for one’s country is not only an act of bravery, it is THE act of bravery. For soldiers, it is just an extension of their military career, a part of their duty. As leaders have asked their soldiers to sacrifice themselves for the good of the society, it is only right for leaders to go through the same motion. They should practice what they have preached.

As war is seen as a noble act, tu sat serves as redemption in case of defeat. It is also a way to tell the enemy: “You might have won the battle/war but you don’t deserve to win because you don’t have the chinh nghia (just cause).” And it is not only just cause: it is the moral belief that the cause they are fighting for deserves their total sacrifice.

Core Creek Militia

==============================My sixth great grandfather, his wife, and five of his six children were killed in battle with the Tuscarora Indians at Core Creek, NC.

The Seven Blackbirds

==============================My third great grandfather was an Ensign in the Revolutionary War, and saved his unit's flag after being wounded at the Battle of Brandywine. He was also at Kingston (Kinston), Wilmington, Charleston, Two Sisters and Augusta. He was at the defeat at Brier Creek and also Bee Creek.

Requiem Aeternam -
Eternal Rest Grant unto Them
==============================
My second great grandfather was killed in action on May 3, 1863 at the Battle of Chancellorsville.
=============================
My great grandfather and great uncle knew all the men in the "Civil War Requiem" video as they were part of the 53rd NC which was the sole unit defending Fort Mahone. (Fort Mahone was named "Fort Damnation" by the Yankees) *Handpicked men of the 53rd (My great grandfather was one of these) made the final, night assault at Petersburg in an attempt to break Grant's line. This was against Fort Stedman which was a few miles to the slight northeast. They initially succeeded, but reinforcements drove them back. This video is made from photographs which were taken the day after the 53rd evacuated the lines the night before to begin the retreat to Appomattox. I have many more pictures taken by the same photographer, one of these shows a 14 year old boy and the other is the famous picture of the blond, handsome soldier with his musket.
===========================
*General Gordon promised the men a gold medal and 30 days leave if they accomplished their task and many years after the War my great grandfather wrote General Gordon, who was then governor of Georgia about this incident. They exchanged several letters which I have framed. See first link below.

Great Grandfather Koonce

He was a drummer boy in the WBTS, survived the War only to die a few years later. He was caught in an ice storm on his way home, but instead of seeking shelter, continued on his horse until the end. His clothes had to be cut off and he died a few days later.
